Yen a safe haven

As the Turks are drawn into a fight that may have no winners and what may eventually prove to be a tactical foolhardiness;
As Putin's new economic order of killing off  black marketing in oil and save Russian interests may just about see a price rise in oil;
As European allies seem caught up in internal strifes  from immigrants to Greece to fear of internal betrayals;
As oil seems to flare up with a possible supply constraints with an escalation in conflagration in the middle east;
As Switzerland still has European neighbours and an opaque banking system to overcome;
Yen looks a better bet. Gold may rise temporarily but cannot hold out against Dollar which will be brought back by a buoyant US  economy and also the ultimate return to safety; it is only yen that looks good. Then comes the dollar.

Federal Reserve Bank of Atlanta data reassuring ...

According to the Atlanta Federal Reserve's Wage Growth Tracker , "a new series constructed using data from the Current Population Survey, the median increase in wages for individuals working in May 2014 and May 2015 was 3.3 percent (reported as a three-month average).
Wage growth by this measure was essentially unchanged from April and 1 percentage point higher than the year-ago reading. The current pace of nominal hourly wage growth is similar to that seen during the labor market recovery of 2003–04 and about a percentage point below the pace experienced during 2006–07, which was the peak of the last business cycle.  " ( http://macroblog.typepad.com/)
